    When I play any game with 120hz both using 3d vision or just normal with 120hz a bunch of green artifacts appear. The graphics card is not overclocked, the fan is spinning and i have manually set it to 90% speed which keeps it under 65c under load. The Graphics card is a GTX 275 and the monitor is a BenQ XL2410T

    Is the graphics card at stock? If so your card is dying...

    3 things you can do:

    RMA
    Bake it
    Replace it.

    Is the PC overclocked at all? If so try dropping it.

    I once had an issue where the GPU would artefact when the PC was overlocked.

    Someone I know had this problem with a GTX275, I think they solved it by underclocking the graphics card speed a tad. I use MSI Afterburner to adjust clocks on my 560Ti, suppose there's no reason why it wouldn't work for the 275 too if you don't have preferred clock adjustment software already?

    Thanks for the replies, iIhave underclocked the GPU slightly and my CPU is no longer overclocked, I have noticed an improvement but the problem still persists.

    Are you using new drivers. I know that at one point there was a driver that was not changing the fan speed on the cards properly. One of my mates had a problem with this the GPU was cooking.

    Yeah driver issue would be my next guess. 90% fan for under 65C seems kinda high too, how's the airflow? Any chance of maybe testing that card+monitor in a different rig even?

    Using the newest Nvidia draivers, I can test the monitor on a different rig but not the graphics card.

    Try rolling back to a previous driver version and compare maybe?. It's the GPU you really want to test though I'm pretty sure it's not the monitor unless it also happens just sitting in Windows desktop...

    Changing to earlier Nvidia drivers seems to have fixed the problem, thanks for all the help everyone.
